It was a busy Saturday for my friend and I. We had gone shopping under the scorching sun and later visited a salon. Hunger finally struck so we decided to dine at Jevinik Restaurant.

I had never been to Jevinik, but had heard nice things about the place. They specialize in “African delicacies” and currently operate in five major cities in Nigeria; Aba, Owerri, Port Harcourt, Abuja and Lagos.

We arrived the VI branch by 8:30pm and were warmly attended to. Our orders were promptly taken once we were done perusing the menu.

Location/Parking – Jevinik Restaurant has a spacious parking lot. This location is pretty easy to locate.

Plantain & Pepper Soup

Food– I ordered Semovita and native soup, but my plan initially was pounded yam…guess we got in late so that was not available. My friend got fried plantains (double portion) and assorted pepper soup…her bowl was full of assorted meat! Now back to my native soup, I had last had this soup in 2009, during my service year. This version is pretty delicious!

Price – Everything my friend and I had ordered cost N4, 260, which I think is pretty decent. My meal was definitely the highlight of my experience; I savored every bit of it! One unique thing about their meals though, is that you pay differently for every item. E.g. the soup I ordered cost N500, Semovita N400 and chicken N700. The assorted pepper soup cost N1500 and Plantain N450 per portion, which I think is rather expensive.

Service– The service overall was decent. I observed staff promptly attend to customers as soon as they were settled in at tables. My friend and I were also promptly attended to by a polite male staff who took our orders, brought the bill, and collected our payment. Quite an easy process. No need for long queues!

I would be returning to Jevinik soon for Pounded Yam and Bitter Leaf Soup. I love food right? Yes I do! Everyone does. 🙂

Have you been to Jevinik Restaurant in any of the above mentioned cities lately? What was your experience like? How would you rate the food/service? Please share your experience. 🙂

At ReviewNaija our goal is to create a community where we can discuss and rate companies in different industries in Nigeria based mainly on quality of products and customer service. Our hope is that, eventually, this site will make people aware of what companies in Nigeria have to offer while helping them make various decisions (where to eat, bank, start/continue one’s career, airlines to fly, etc).
